AI Impact Summit: French President Emmanuel Macron, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), shared an AI-generated image of himself with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While referring to the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi that will be inaugurated by PM Modi on Thursday, Macron shared the image on the social media platform. The French president is on a visit to India, where he made key announcements across sectors, including defence, artificial intelligence, and energy. The AI Impact Summit is likely to provide a boost to India's involvement and ambitions in the field of AI.

While sharing the image, Macron asserted that he was ready to participate in the hyped event in the national capital of India. "When friends connect, innovation follows. Ready for The AI Impact Summit!" Macron posted. The text on the image confirmed that it was generated by the artificial intelligence. Earlier on Tuesday, while speaking during the India-France Innovation Forum, the French president stated that France is ready to cooperate with India in the innovation sector.

"The question is no longer whether India innovates. The question is, who will innovate with India? And France is the unique clear answer. We are here, we want to be here with you, and we are not leaving. Jai Ho! As we say in a famous movie. So long live the Indo-French relationship. Thank you very much," Macron asserted.
